Key Technologies of 6G On-Demand Services

Dear Colleagues,

The sixth-generation (6G) wireless communication system is user-centric and built upon the deep integration of intelligent applications and networks, forming an integrated network that spans across space, air, ground, and sea. Currently, the full openness, heterogeneity, and virtualization features of 6G networks result in numerous potential unknown service requirements and conflicting, extreme performances. To address these challenges, it is crucial to understand the comprehensive characteristics of 6G across all scenarios, analyze the personalized user demands and services, and explore intelligent network management and efficient resource allocation in order to achieve the goal of having a network that adapts to individual needs, evolves according to demands, and shares resources on demand.

This Special Issue called “Key Technologies of 6G On-Demand Services” aims to present state-of-the-art papers in the domain of on-demand services in 6G networks. We invite researchers to contribute with innovative and original research papers or insightful review papers. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

• Theoretical and identification research to establish a standardized description of 6G across all scenarios;
• Architecture for intelligent 6G network control across all scenarios;
• Analysis of personalized user demands in 6G networks;
• Service and demand-oriented 6G intelligent network resource allocation techniques;
• Techniques for 6G network dynamic reconstruction and intelligent scheduling;
• Research on 6G network control theories and intelligent hierarchical systems;
• Cross-domain resource control and cooperative allocation techniques in a space–air–ground–sea integrated communication network;
• Application of artificial intelligence in the resource allocation of 6G networks;
• Field testing and simulation studies for resource allocation and control in 6G networks.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
